Philadelphia, Sinemoretz is located in the Strandja National Reserve,
which is one of the most important breeding areas in the country
for Ciconia nigra, raptors such as Neophron percnopterus, Circaetus
gallicus, Aquila pomarina, Aquila chrysaetos, Hieraaetus pennatus
and Bubo bubo, and forest species such as Picus canus, Dendrocopos
medius and Ficedula semitorquata. The mountain is also a major
migratory bottleneck site, where more than 33,000 Ciconia ciconia
pass overhead each autumn. Species of global conservation concern
that do not meet IBA criteria: Phalacrocorax pygmeus (common on
passage), Pelecanus crispus (common on passage), Crex crex (occurs
on passage).
Villa Philadelphia is in the immediate vicinity of two major IBA Protected Landscapes: Veleka, 1,546 ha; and the Veleka Mouth, 1,511 ha; and a short drive to a third: Silistar, 773 ha. There are over a dozen more sites within a 90 kilometer radius of Villa Philadelphia (Atanasovo Lake; Poda Lagoon; Izvorska Mouth; Ropotamo Alepu lake; Maslen Nos; Pyassachni Dyuni; Arkoutino; Chengene Skele Cove; Cape Emine and others.) Since its conception, Villa Philadelphia has taken a proactive role in the immediate area by working with local BirdLife Representatives and authorities by actively promoting the protection of the area's natural wonders. We work hard by educating the public about the importance of this unique biosphere. Our major tours to Bulgaria are led by BirdLife members whose major purpose is promoting the protection of these vital breeding grounds for resident and migratory species. We focus on the following: (1) Bulgarian Black Sea Coast: From Romania to Turkey (Spring and Autumn); (2) Central Balkan Range (Early Spring Raptor Migrations), (3) Branta Ruficollis' (Winter) as well as (4) Strandja Mountains (Year round)

 Neophron
Tours is the tourist company of the Bulgarian Society
for the Protection of Birds. We offer a great variety of birding,
natural history, wild flowers, butterfly and dragonfly tours.
We practice and promote responsible travel to natural areas that
conserves the environment and provides support for bird conservation
in Bulgaria.
With the presence of about 400 bird species recorded in the country, Bulgaria has indeed something to offer birders during all seasons. Its central location on the Balkan Peninsula, its highly diverse landscape and vegetation, the Mediterranean influence in the southern part of the country, the alpine belt in the high mountains and the numerous riverside and coastal wetlands contribute to the variety of birdlife. Besides, two of the main migratory flyways for migrating birds in Eastern Europe – the Via Pontica and the Via Aristotelis – cross the country. The huge flocks of migrating Pelicans, Storks and raptors, flying right over your head, is an impressive and memorable sight. Traveling through the country in spring one can enjoy the colorful Bee-eaters, Red-backed Shrikes, Golden Orioles, Black-headed Buntings and the Ortolan Buntings nearly at every step.

The fact that the country provides home for more than 700 brown bears and about 1000 wolves proves that here you can really feel the spirit of wild nature.
